Carl Pettersson Wins the RBC & THP Chats With Him

Picking up his 5th win on the PGA Tour, Carl Pettersson won the RBC and did so with a rather unique bag full of clubs. THP had a chance to chat with Pettersson after his win about his equipment and get a look at why he has what’s in his bag.

THP – Carl, you use a driver that is 11.5 degrees and measures in at almost 47 inches. Can you tell us why that is the case?

CP – It was all about fitting for me. I am a low spin player and to keep up and get the ball out there, I needed to get my spin up and carry farther. The longer shaft got me exactly what I needed and the loft keeps it going. Overall, I am really liking what I am seeing out of this new Nike driver.

THP – You are playing the Nike 20XI S golf ball and going back to the driver, are hitting the ball extremely well. What made you make the switch and what are you seeing out of the ball?

CP – It was pretty easy for me. I saw just over 10 yards of more distance. It plays well around the green, and with that distance gain, I was hooked.

THP – Like your driver, your putter is rather long. You are using the Nike Method and obviously it is working well. What are your thoughts on Method technology?

CP – I tested it out and really liked the feel and the ball comes off the face end over end quicker than I saw before. The proof for me was making more putts, which I did.

THP – Thanks for taking the time to chat today after your win. We appreciate the insight into your interesting choices and wish you continued success.
